Course Description:
A study of life, literature, and art in the time of Augustus Caesar (63 B.C.-A.D. 14), who, from the disintegration of the Roman Republic, created the imperial system that was to shape Western Europe. His rule was an epoch that bequeathed 300 years of peace and political stability and by its brilliant restatement of the classic became the standard of reference for later neo-classicism.
